Post Subject: How to get max power from 2A3Posted by Romy the Cat on: 2/14/2009

I do not remember details already but Dima and I had the same discussion a few weeks back. After all his research he was very much disagree with textbook use of 2A3. He felt that max power and the most proper operation of this tube will be at 275V on plate and 4.1K load. He had a very elegant theory of “a proper entrance in voltage starvation mode”, might be he will be posting it… He constantly was taking about 4.5W with under 15W on plate. I did not test this mode but what Dima proposed sounded much rational to me then the classic 250V and 2.5K load.
